13:02:00 From Jacek Malec : We begin by 13:15, as usual. 13:48:35 From Joel Bäcker : does 'const' do the same but it returns the first instead? 14:00:23 From CH : Hi, is the new version of assignment 3 similar to the current version that's available right now? Is it okay to start working on it based on the information on the website? 14:01:14 From CH : okay, thank you 14:01:36 From Jacek Malec : Please wait until Wednesday. 14:01:51 From Hannes : For assignment N2, is part 2 just supposed to be the slow, "bruteforce" method, which is then optimized in part 3? 14:05:15 From Hannes : If so, since problem 3 asks us to change functions we wrote as answers in part 2, are we supposed to hand both versions of the functions? 14:12:58 From Jacek Malec : you may keep the old versions in the file for reference, although normally we won’t need them. But you may get useful comments on them in case they are there. 14:19:19 From sanctified : Do you have to tell the compiler which values are threading-sensitive (as with "volatile" in C-like langs) in Haskell? 14:34:46 From sanctified : Is there a good way to check for issues like the one you highlighted in sillySort, other than just reasoning about the code? I.e. how do you verify that your code is actually properly parallell? 14:35:46 From William Karlsson : Profiling, probably 14:40:18 From Avery : What does the syntax list@(x:xs) mean? 14:40:49 From Adrian Murphy : list = (x:xs) 14:44:00 From Avery : Okay, thanks 14:48:45 From Farjam Movahedi : My GHCi cannot find the module Control.Parallel… Any idea?
